//------------------------------// // Special: Starlight's Apology Part 3 // Story: Unpleasant Correspondence 2 (My Little Pony: Reign of the Goddess-Queens) // by StormLuna //------------------------------// Dear Starlight, Well the five of us saw your address to the nation and right now we are all in a state of shock. Never once did we actually expect you to not only apologize on national TV but to be as transparent as you were. We never thought you would own up to everything you did. You admitted to doing a lot of messed up things and you seemed to act like if the nation turned against you, that you would deserve it. Now that takes guts on your part and to the five of us, you were being sincere and while we will still have trouble trusting you, we do accept your apology and if you still want to be friends, we will be open to it. -- All of Us Well I am glad to know that you will be paying all of us weather pegasi our severance packages. I'm not hurting financially but still, I'm glad to see that you're owning up to your wrongs. Yes us pegasi might seem greedy but we were government employees so you did owe that to us. This shows that you have grown as a leader although I'm pretty sure being away from Twilight has allowed you to grow like this. -- Rainbow Dash Starlight, well Ah'm glad to know that Bright Beam will be helping us out over on the farm and that you're going to use your magic to keep things stable for us farmers until you get these weather mages trained. Ah'll admit, Ah'm still not happy that it isn't traditional but if it will help the farmers in this country out, it will do. -- Applejack Well I am happy to see that you're making things right but that still doesn't change the fact that you were a meany-mean hooves! I will forgive you as long as you Pinkie Promise to never do those meany-mean hooves things again! -- Pinkie Pie Starlight darling, you were very open and transparent with the country in your address and admitted to things that could very well turn the country against you and you did it in a way that showed that you truly were sorry. I will agree that you shouldn't be worshiped but that is true of anypony, whether she is a leader or not. Just know that I do wish you well and I do extend my hoof out to you, in friendship. -- Rarity Uhm, well I saw your address and you do truly seem sorry. I will never forget the torture I had to go through because of you and your sister but I do forgive you. I doubt we'll be having a spa day any time soon, well unless Rarity would be open to it. Good luck in your marriage and I will be there, as Cadence's bridesmare. -- Fluttershy Ladies, I am glad that you have accepted my apology. I know that friendship isn't going to be something that will happen right away but perhaps we can all have a spa day sometime or do something else that the five of you would want to do. Don't worry about the cost. It will all be on me. Sincerely, Starlight To My Nicey-Nice Daughter, I can't believe everything you said in that address to the country. I did not raise you like that.....oh wait, I didn't raise you so nopony can blame me for you pulling this shit! It does however make me look bad because my own flesh and blood came out and admitted everything that she has done wrong and apologized for it. To make matters worse, you're going to pay those stupid pegasi severance pay years after the fact? What has gotten into you, is Cadence a bad influence on you or what? So help me Faust if she is, a certain little bitch with a heart on her ass will be retaken by her rightful owner, my precious Twilight! And who the hell do you think you are in going to be paying Luster Dawn as much as you did Bright Beam? Is part of that "everypony must be equal" mentality still there? That is something that this country will not put up with and with any luck, there will be a coup and the whole country will rally around my favorite daughter and get her installed as supreme leader of Equestria AND allow her to take any mare she wants as a sex slave, including your soon to be wife! I can make that happen too so you might want to think twice before going through with all of this. What the hell is up with you making Spike a prince? Come on, outside of saving the crystal ponies because of dumb luck, all he has ever done is fuck things up in one way or another. Even worse, you are basically paying him reparations and allowing him to set his own destiny? Look, that is not the role of a dragon hatched by a protégé. The role of a dragon hatched by a protégé is to be her slave for his entire life, none of this getting paid crap and they certainly aren't meant to be royalty or be free of forced servitude. Spike's destiny was always to be Twilight's slave and be a lackey who did what the royal family says and thanks to you, he'll be free now. I wouldn't be one bit surprised if he didn't move to the Crystal Empire and increase the power of the males there even further. If that becomes the case, Twilight and I will have no choice but to declare war on the Empire and take those of the lesser sex out. Males should never have even equal power anywhere, much less have greater power than mares. Such a thing is simply unnatural and you know that. Don't be one bit surprised though when the whole country demands you abdicate because of all your highly unethical acts and being generous with those who aren't even remotely deserving of either generosity or kindness. Everypony knows we have a set structure in Equestria and you are completely destroying it. Your Upset Mother, Celestia Dear Bitchlestia, Guess what, you're not in power anymore so who the hell do you think you are to tell me how to run MY country? My bitch sister has basically abdicated and turned your pathetic flank into her sex toy and that is downright pathetic. Any mother that would willingly allow herself to be her daughter's fuck toy is undeserving of respect and I'll tell you this right now, I don't respect you in the slightest. If you were even remotely deserving of it, you would grow a set and stand up to Twibitch. Yes she has more power than you, a lot more, but if you will stand up to her and tell her to go fuck a cactus or something like that, I'll rescue you from whatever place she banishes you to. It is your choice though, you can stand up for yourself and prove you are deserving of respect or you can remain completely pathetic just to keep that bitch sister of mine from taking the crazy train again and banishing you some where. I'm sure in the end though you'll side with the lesser sister since I'm trying to atone for my wrongs so I don't know why I'm wasting my time trying to convince you to do anything other than what is certain. The More Powerful Sister, Goddess-Queen Starlight Glimmer To My Pious, Goody-Good Bitch Sister, I watched your address and once again you have proven to be a goody-good little bitch who has abandoned everything her family stands for. Seriously, severance pay for those brain dead weather ponies? Back when we did away with that unnatural shit such as pegasus controlled weather, you bitched just as much as I did about them bankrupting the country and now here you are going to be spending BILLIONS of bits in making sure their precious asses get what Crash probably begged you to give them. Pay for Luster Dawn? You know that little bitch is undeserving of it and you are only doing this to spite me and I know it. You ascended the little bitch and that was something that you were not entitled to do. The bitch tells you that she allegedly defeated some villains, you so stupidly believe her and then ascend her without me knowing until after the fact. You are way too nice to that little failure. Never once did she do anything right or do anything to please me yet you just had to ascend her and to make matters worse, you ascended Trixie and made both Luster and her bitch wife princesses. I honestly think you still have something for Trixie and figured giving her wings and making her royalty would be a good way to make up for it. Now why the hell would you bestow royal status upon Spike AND free him from being my slave? Look, I hatched the little fucker and I am the only one with the power to free him and you should know that I would never do that. That little bastard is undeserving of freedom and knowing that little screw-up, he will likely move to the Crystal Empire and go fuck Shining Armor and Sunburst up the ass like they deserve. You know once you get enough royal males together that nothing good will ever come from it, ever. With that scroll hacking lizard there, he'll probably convince them to legalize rape and no mare would be safe. You know something, I think it was a truly stupid move on your part to go admitting all the shit you've done in your life, hoping that by them knowing how truly horrible you've been in your past that they might be able to relate with you more and other dumb shit. I will tell you one thing, if I were one of those inferiors, I certainly wouldn't take a leader going live like that and admitting to it all that well. It would cause me to want to depose that leader because she obviously wouldn't have what it takes to keep the secrets safe that need to be. A good leader hides her past, a good leader doesn't let anypony know about her private life and she certainly doesn't go apologizing to those undeserving of any kind of apology. You are weak sister, weak. Ponies will rebel over this, they will want you out and when they demand that I return to the throne, you'll have to pack your bags! You know everypony loves me and since you're suddenly so concerned about your image, you'd cave into the public's demands, demands which would include you abdicating and handing Cadence back over to me! Get ready Starbitch because you'll be cast out before the end of the month, I guarantee it! The Better Sister, Goddess-Queen Twilight Sparkle June 12, 1994 Dear Citizen, This letter is in response to your recent letter to Princess Celestia. As you probably know, the princess is very busy and has a packed schedule. Between having to raise and lower the sun and moon, daily court, meeting with mayors from across the country and having to answer many letters, a quick response is unlikely. For a quicker response from the princess, email her at her brand new e-mail address pcelestiabitchysunbutt@eol.com Responses to letters may take six to eight weeks to receive while a response to an e-mail may take as little as ten days! So again, consider using lightning fast 14.4k internet to contact the princess! Sincerely, Raven, Assistant to Princess Celestia Dear Starlight, I saw your address to the nation and I am shocked, beyond shocked. Never once did I think that anypony in the royal family would FINALLY compensate me for all the work I've put in. I will admit, over the years I have grown to despise the whole royal family because I have been treated more like personal property than a living creature. It was only when I was Bright Beam's assistant that I actually felt appreciated but like you stated, I still never got paid for my work. I do think that one million bits and finally being free is sufficient and I do accept your apology. While I can tell that you are sincere and if I was to come up and be a royal advisor, I would get paid and treated well but Equestria simply holds too many bad memories. I have decided that I will be relocating to the Crystal Empire because I know that everypony there holds me in a very high regard while here in Equestria, it seems like you're the only one who doesn't see me as a possession, a pet or a slave. Do know that I am very appreciative of you giving me my freedom and paying me what you are. I do think though that you need to think twice about marrying Cadence. I say this because she caused my big brother so much heartache with her constant cheating on him. I have my concerns that she will break your heart the same way that she did Shining Armor's. You don't have to take my advice but I ask that you at least consider them. Again thanks for everything you are doing for me. Thankful, Prince Spike.....signing letters like that is going to take time to get used to. Dear Prince Spike, Well I am happy that you are thankful for everything and I can understand why you are choosing the Crystal Empire. You are considered a hero up there and I know that Shining Armor thinks of you as a brother. I want you to know that if you ever need or want anything, let me know. Do know that I wish you nothing but the best in whatever endeavors you choose to pursue up there. Given your smarts, I know you'll succeed in anything you do. Sincerely, Starlight Dear Starlight, Both of us watched your address to the nation and you showed a side to us and probably everypony else (save your daughters and maybe Luna) didn't know existed. You know that both of us are grateful for us being ascended and now the payment to make up for Bright Beam always being put first. You Starlight Glimmer, have proven that you have changed and grown as a pony since you first took power. Both of us think most of it has likely come because of the absence of Goddess-Queen Bitchy Pants and we do hope that you can keep her at a great distance forever. Without her there by your side, we know you will become the great leader that you are capable of being....well you might want to avoid your mom too since she raised Twibitch. Also, take everypony's warnings about Cadence to heart because we have our concerns that she will cheat on you, probably with Bitchy Pants! Signed, Princess Luster Dawn and Princess Trixie Lulamoon Dear Princess Luster and Princess Trixie, Thanks for the letter and I do think you are right, Twilight was such a bad influence on me and I was weak for allowing her to influence my decisions. Now I'm not sure how Princess Bright Beam is going to react given she loves the bitch version of me but if she doesn't like it, she'll have to deal with it. Regarding Cadence, I'll keep that in mind. Even Prince Spike has expressed his concerns along with pretty much everypony else close to me but I know Colgate only has because she wants her toy back. Anyway, you two have a pleasant day and I do hope we can continue to repair our damaged relationships. Apologetic, Starlight Dear Starlight, I watched your address and I think you are being way too kind to certain ponies. Ok, I can get you wanting to pay the ex-weather ponies their severance packages and I can get you wanting to pay Spike back pay for all the crap he has had to do for those he was an assistant for. What I don't get is you helping certain individuals out who are not hurting for money. Seriously, you're going to pay Luster enough that she will be equal with me? Why the fuck would you do that? Hey, I did a far better job running that shitty friendship school than her and I never caused the other kingdoms to pull their students. Remember, Luster is the one who started running it according to EEA guidelines, not me. She should not get paid big bucks for nearly sinking that place until she changed course. What truly pisses me off though is you going to be compensating Luster's parents for all the money they have been fined. Come on, they are among the wealthiest ponies in the country and ponies such as them sure the fuck don't need any aid. Yes you may think you are doing the right thing but what you are truly doing is spitting in the faces of the ponies in this country who support you. Remember, it is those in the top 5% who love Twilight, it is everypony else who supports you. If you do go through with helping them, you may start to lose support from those who haven't cheated, swindled and stole their way to the top of the financial food chain. I have an idea, just have Discord create some bits to give to them. I'm sure you know how to manipulate our currency so that those extra bits won't hurt the currency's value. What you plan on giving them out of the treasury or whatever, donate it to the less fortunate or a cat sanctuary! Upset You're Aiding Rich Ponies, Princess Bright Beam, Mayor of Ponyville Dear Bright Beam, Ok, I get it. I understand that you despise high level business ponies and think they're all crooks but I did make a promise on national TV and I have to follow through with that. You know something, I could contact Discord and have him create some bits to donate to the cat sanctuary you got Shadow from. Will that make you any less unhappy? Trying to Set Things Right, Starlight Starlight, Fine but I'm still pissed your giving rich ponies government money. Upset, Princess Bright Beam
